lltjtltjtl in; means of serew-thrended bars 12 which said lh'll'H tltO secured. 'lhis steamis provided. with trnnnions 14,-whieh onrnztled in the casing or housing and t whitensu portsnidsteam-chest. Oneof these trnnnions is provided w th :t stemn-pnssage coinnninienting' with the stezun-ehest and is ennneeted with the generntor in n nysnit-nble nan-oer. 'lhe object of the trunnions is to allow the steam-chest. to conform to any wear f?! irregularity ot lower journal withontbinditttif or eoeking t'nlve-senti.

t oneentrieztlly mounted upon shaft?) and revolring thereon or therewith, is a series of two or more eylinders 15, each of which is provided with n singleheting reciprocating piston to and n steinn-port i7.

is designates 1 he lster-rods connected with disk 5 lay nnn'tns of lntll-nnd-soeket jo'ints 1!] Ed, and whieh are also eonneetod with the pistons hy similar joints 2i 9;. The halls on the ends of the pistons are held in place. in the soekets it) by nienns ol annular rings 253, seen red in said soekets by meansof screws 21, and the halls in sockets Ll are held in plaice by means ot rings of liitbblttmel'nl i inserted in grooves ill in said sockets. 'lhe tylinders :tre prefernhly tour in numher, and nnty he i'orined hyt'nkinga eylinder l nnd boring an nperntnre eent-rnlly therethrough and then formingevlinders tit-equal distances lptltl and concentric with shaft: 9, nsin my pntenthel'ore referred to. Upon the front face of the cylinder are formed or provided the bevel genr-t'eeth meshing with si1nileir teeth in the disk (3, so that said cylinder nnd dish more in unison with eneh other.

'lhe numeral 'l I} designates the sten nnehesti, provided with trnnnions, as before set forth, having the inlet through one of said truir nions and exhaust 31 opening into the casing or housing, which is provided'with an escapeopening 32, or through the other trunnion, should it he desired.

The ninnern'l 3 3 designates the valve ha.v in stem 34: and central bore or aperture for the of shaft 8. This valve is pro vided with inlet-opening 35 and exhaust-opening 30,2316. is held in place within the steamlroo chest by means of the cross-bar 37 carriedby the bars 12.

The cylinder-head is madedouble orin two parts 88 and 39 with a small intervening space. One of theirheads 30 is provided with aseries of u pwardly-projecting hubs 40, within which fit slide-valves -tl,a ctuated by centrifugal motion of the engine in closing, actuated by the springs etl in opening, and regulated by setscrews 43 acting on said springs and projecting outside the cylinder. over the ports in the cylinders, and are provided with bars extending across the steamspace, so that the track of the valves will not be so great as to open and close the ports. The driving-shaft 5 is provided with a small central bore 44, which communicates with a radial aperture 45, connecting with an oil cup or lnbricator 46. The shaft is also provided with a peripheral groove 47, which communicates with the aperture or passage 45, so that oil is fed to the exterior of said shaft. The central passage or bore 44: communicates with this ball and socket of the shaft 9, and near this end is provided with radial oil-passagcs 48, which communicate with the ball and sockets 19 20 of the pistons.

The operation of the engine audits advantages will be obvious. The object of inclosing the working parts in a casing or housing The valves work is to enable gas, naphtha, or other burning lluids to be employed.

Having thus described my invontion, what I claim is 1. In an angle-engine, the combination, with the inclined shaft connected with the d rivingdisk by ball-and-socket joint, and the upper end stepped or having its bearings in a crosshead connected with the steam-chest, the cylinders having ports, thepistons, piston-rods,

and bevel geawteetlnof a housing, the steam-' chest having trnnnions journaled in said housing provided with inlet-passage, an exhaust-passage in said steam-chest, and the ROBERT C. BERRY.
